Abstract

Let XX and YY be two smooth projective varieties such that there is a fully faithful exact functor from Db(Coh(X))D^b(\mathrm{Coh}(X)) to Db(Coh(Y))D^b(\mathrm{Coh}(Y)). We show that XX and YY are birational equivalent if the functor maps one skyscraper sheaf to a skyscraper sheaf. Further assuming that XX and YY are of the same dimension, we show that if XX has ample canonical bundle and H0(X,KX)0H^0(X ,K_X)\neq 0, or if XX is a K3 surface with Picard number one, then YY is birational to a Fourier--Mukai partner of XX.
